Pre-Class Reflection Prompt - Week 5

This reflection has two parts. In total, you should submit two paragraphs - one for part 1 and one for part 2. For both parts, responses must be original. They may not be copied verbatim from the videos or anywhere else, nor should they be generated by AI tools. As stated in the syllabus, you may use such tools to improve the language of your responses, but if you do, please include your original words beneath your revised submission. Reflections submitted late through Wednesday at 11:59pm will have a maximum grade of 80%. Reflections submitted more than 24 hours late will have a maximum grade of 60%.

Part 1:

Reflecting on the "Ethics in AI: Guidelines" video and your own personal values, write a paragraph (5–10 sentences) that highlights your thoughts about the challenges of developing AI and ethical AI guidelines in certain parts of the world when the AI technologies and the ethical guidelines will be applied globally. What stood out to you in the video? You may address the questions below or others.

Which ethical themes would you prioritize and why?
How well do your priorities line up with the priorities described in the video (which are also those emphasized in published AI ethics guidelines)?


Part 2:

Insightful questions;
Clarification questions about ambiguities;
Comments about the relation of the content to previous content;
Solutions to problems or exercises posed in the readings or videos;
